Welcome to the King County Fire District #2 website, serving the citizens of Burien, Normandy Park and now, North Highline. 

FIREWORKS NOT ALLOWED WITHIN BURIEN CITY LIMITS

“Every year there are individuals hurt by fireworks or a home is damaged or destroyed because of fire caused by fireworks,” said Chief Mike Marrs, King County Fire District #2. “Just last year, we tragically lost a community member in White Center to a house fire caused by fireworks. We ask you to consider is the risk worth the few moments of thrill?”

For more information on firework laws in Burien please visit the Burien city website here.

A Message from the Fire Chiefs of King County

King County Fire Chiefs have an important message to share with the community we serve. A look back at the beginning of COVID-19 in King County, where we are today, and how we can finish strong. Do not let up, we have come too far to go back. #TOGETHERWECAN

Fire Station changes due to covid-19

To ensure the health and safety of our members and the community, King County Fire District 2 is following the CDC recommendations to address the concerns over the growing the risk of COVID-19.

The following services have been temporarily suspended:
  • Station Tours
  • CPR Classes
  • In-Station Blood Pressure Checks
  • Community use of our facilities
  • Community event participation

In an effort to flatten the curve please refrain from visiting our fire stations.  We ask that you call 9-1-1 for all medical emergencies.

Our first responders are actively responding to calls and we encourage our community to follow the CDC recommendations for preventing the spread of the COVID-19 virus.  https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-nCoV/index.html

We are monitoring the situation as it evolves and will provide updates as necessary.  Please contact the Fire Marshal for all Fire Hydrant Availability, Permits, and Fire Inspections at (206) 209-4119 or email rpettigrew@burienfire.org.

CO Alarm maintenance information
The Burien Fire District has received multiple 9-1-1 calls this year from concerned residents because of chirping carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. While it’s important to call 9-1-1 if your CO alarm is sounding continuously without stopping, a CO alarm that chirps every 30 seconds is not an emergency. It probably means your CO alarm has reached its end of life and should be replaced.

See the document attached for more information about CO Alarms, the laws regarding their use and best practices about what you should do if you hear yours chirping.

Congratulations to our two New Captains!

It is with great pleasure we welcome our newest captains, Chris Johnson and Wayne Metz! Captain Johnson will be taking a new spot as Captain at Station 28, C shift and Captain Metz will be taking over as the Logistics Officer also working from station 28. Well done, and congratulations on this great achievement!

Firefighters rescue man from fire in Burien auto repair shop

On the morning of January 11th, fire crews responded to an auto shop fire in the 15200 block of First Avenue South. The quick actions of the first crew on scene as well as a fully functioning sprinkler system contributed to the rescue of one man inside. Nice work B Shift Engine 328! Here is a link to the story on KIRO 7.

Happy retirement chief Blaylock!

Congratulations to Battalion Chief Jerry Blaylock on a very successful career. Chief Blaylock worked in King County Fire Department #2 for 35 years and the majority of that time as the Battalion Chief on B shift. Thank you for your many years of service to the citizens of our fire district. We wish you a long and happy retirement!

fire department expands to include north highline!

After extensive contract negotiations and a vote from two separate fire commissions, the North Highline Fire District has undergone a contractual consolidation into King County Fire District #2. While North Highline Fire District still exists and maintains their own board of fire commissioners, all of their firefighters have been hired by the King County Fire District #2. The new consolidated district will provide streamlined response and chain of command for fire and emergency medical service (EMS) to areas of unincorporated King County, Burien, and Normandy Park.
